May 25 Quick Kicks Podcast

The ITP Fantasy Express rolls on through Wednesday as we continue to dig into the intricacies of fantasy football to get you ready for the upcoming season. Doug Moore joins hosts Mark Schofield and Chuck Zodda on the May 25 Quick Kicks Podcast as we dig into several concepts regarding re-draft leagues. Doug helps to explain several trends that have appeared in recent years and separate out the useful ideas from those that are best left undrafted. Topics this show include:

Doug’s first article for Inside the Pylon, discussing the reasons for taking a wide receiver in the first round in re-draft leagues (1:30)
